I really *want* to work on my model shooting skills. Like, taking pictures of models/people. But I dom't have anyone to shoot

Or maybe, nobody worthy shooting... It's a blurry line I guess. But that and lighting. Lighting is important and unfortunately not something you can learn without actually doing it. So that means I'd need lights too...
Oh and being able to call fstops and exposure settings without shooting a few first. Using a dSLR is great but I find myself taking allot of pictures to check exposure and color values rather than trying to learn them and be able to call them. With this skill, it'll make capturing those fleeting images a little less stressful.
